Hello!

Answer:


\Large \boxed{\sf 2(3y -4)}

Explanation:

→ We want to simplify:


\sf 8y - 2(y+4)

Simplify parentheses:

We know:


\sf x(a + b) = ax + bx


\sf 8y - 2 * y+ (-2) * 4

Simplify the expression:


\sf 8y - 2y -8


\sf 6y -8

Factorize the expression:

We know:


\sf ax - bx = x(a - b)


\sf 2 * 3y- 2 * 4


\boxed{\sf 2(3y -4)}
